3 tips to improve your paddling :
-make sure your boat is stiff ! Your boat will naturally deflate a bit when in contact with cold water, so make you top it up at the start and regularly.
-Loads of people lean back when they are paddling. This position prevents you from using your upper body for your strokes and, prevents you from using your hips. INSTEAD, sit upright, "chest out, bum out"
-paddle using your paddle in a vertical position for power, reach far forward and rotate your torso.

To prevent punctures and rips on sharp rocks and debris, a less inflated boat helps in those situations. My multi day trips don't want to include backcountry raft repairs.
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the video. I will follow this channel. Started packraft this year so I have a lot to learn. John, Norway.

6 tips thx :) great channel
Thanks Mate!
Splash your boat with water before you start to paddle. This will help to temper it so you should only have to fill it up once after initially blowing it up. Also, watch out for the smnall round gasket that is located in the valve cap, they can very easily fall out and that will cause you to loose air over time.
Nice one Max ! With these travel restrictions Looks like we’ll have to wait until September to paddle with you ☹️

Nice Video. Greetings ronactive
Is the back of your shirt attached to the packraft? Isn’t that a massive safety hazard?

Doh! Just realized it’s probably the seat back! 🤦♀️

@@fayleya3865 it is the back rest indeed. I am NOT attached to my boat. Would be a significant safety hasard indeed.
When your paddle stroke is on the rigth side, you push with you left leg and not the rigth.

True, sort of. I was taught that also many many years ago. Most people though cannot synchronize this movement and don't understand why you need to do this.

Correct. This concept was taught to me many many yrs ago also when I was learning, the explanation being that by pushing the contralateral leg you tend to compensate for the boat swinging to the side opposite the paddle stroke. Theoretically sound, but hard to synchronise as you put it.
